Metso will supply PT Cikarang Listrindo in Babelan outside Jakarta in
Indonesia
with two power boilers with a total capacity of 270 MWe. The delivery will
also
include a Metso DNA control system. The investment will increase the
company's
electricity production by approximately 30 %. The plant will be
commissioned in
2016. The value of the order is approximately EUR 100 million.

The order is a major breakthrough for Metso to the power generation
industry in
Indonesia. PT Cikarang Listrindo selected Metso due to their expertise and
ability to supply quality solutions fit for local needs.

"I am very glad that we have concluded the tender evaluation process by
appointing Metso as contractor. We are very pleased with the discussions we
have
had with the well-experienced Metso team on how to meet our local needs. We
can
now all focus and work on the project and to have it completed in a timely
manner and to all our satisfaction," says EC P'ng, PT Cikarang Listrindo's
Technical Director.

Cikarang and surrounding estates form an industrial area with many
factories
that require stable power supply. In the last 20 years, PT Cikarang
Listrindo's
customer base has increased on a steady basis. As a result, the company
decided
to increase their power production capacity.
